What’s everyone saying about Breaking Bad? What about just my friends? What do my old photo comments say about me? A trillion posts full of this info start getting unlocked today as Facebook begins rolling out Graph Search for posts to a small subset of US English users. It will allow us to see what the world thinks of anything, but could also dredge up the past, defeating ‘privacy… Read More

Facebook’s Graph Search, the tool that lets you search in plain language across information shared by friends and anyone on Facebook to find stuff like “People who live in my city from my hometown,” or “Friends of friends who like Paula Dean,” or whatever other weird and terrible combination you can dream up, is now available to all users on the platform with U.S. Read More

As Facebook begins rolling out its Graph Search engine more broadly to its U.S. English-language user base today, it faces new challenges that were perhaps not at the forefront of our minds when the service was officially announced. Currently, the on-site search engine aims at making the people, places, photos, and other interests posted to Facebook more easily discoverable, but for it to… Read More

Use Facebook in American English and aren’t one of Graph Search’s beta users already? Then you can expect to get the tool in a rollout that will begin on Monday and take place over the next few weeks. Read More

Lars Rasmussen, one of the two engineering directors who led in the creation of Facebook’s new Graph Search and helps run its development, is leaving Menlo Park and setting up shop in Facebook’s office in London. Graph Search, or at least the engineering part that he oversees, is coming with him. I took the opportunity of a quick reconnaissance mission he made to the city this week… Read More

At least Facebook didn’t break anything, but the extra feeds and search box it recently launched have yet to drastically improve my experience. The homepage redesign is pretty, but I keep forgetting the Photos and Music feeds exist since they’re buried in the sidebar. And Graph Search is great when I need it, but I rarely do. With some design tweaks, Facebook could unleash… Read More

Five weeks after launch, Facebook gave reporters a ‘State Of Graph Search’ today at its Menlo Park HQ. It’s been rolled out from the original 100,000 users to “hundreds of thousands”, and now a news feed story is appearing to lure people’s friends to sign up for the early access wait list. Read More

Editor’s Note: Brian Bowman is founder and CEO of LikeIt.com, a fun way to discover people, places, and things.
The responsibility of dating sites should be to facilitate great first dates. Unfortunately, the dating industry has chosen to protect its charge-to-communicate business model instead of give consumers access to information to make an educated decision about a potential date… Read More

Well, that didn’t take long. Facebook Graph Search is now its own Tumblr meme: “Actual Facebook Graph Searches.” The site dials up the social media rubbernecking-slash-privacy outrage to a whole new level: user submissions. It’s like that Gizmodo post was turned into an entire blog, edited by everyone. The blog is now blowing up on Hacker News. It’s getting tweeted. Read More

Many of you are probably presented with the same problem when logging into Facebook. The first thing that you see is your News Feed, with tons of content from your friends and pages that you like. Unless you sort your News Feed by recent, which isn’t always accurate, you have no idea what to look at first.
This is a problem for Facebook, because you will probably interact with less… Read More

Facebook just announced its new Graph Search feature and while we still have to fully digest the impact of this, it’s pretty obvious that its foray into search clearly outranks the very limited search capabilities of Google+. Even though Google has heavily invested in its Knowledge Graph technology, none of those capabilities have yet made it into Google+ and the search tool on… Read More

Facebook launched Graph Search today, its own version of a private, personalized social search engine. It’s somewhat of a competitor to Google’s “Search Plus Your World” – Google’s more recent take on blending personal data with that of the greater web. Although Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was careful to frame it as not being a web search product, that… Read More

Earlier today, Facebook unveiled its third pillar, graph search. While the announcement was highly anticipated, the unveiling didn’t live up to the hype from the investors’ perspective, as the stock (NASDAQ:FB) is currently down 3.23 percent at 29.95 –below $30 again. Read More

When Facebook unveiled its new Graph Search function earlier today, it also unveiled the two people who spearheaded the new “third pillar” of Facebook: Lars Rasmussen and Tom Stocky, two heavy-hitters that Facebook hired away from the world’s current search leader, Google, over the last couple of years.

Today at Facebook’s press event, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, announced its latest product, called Graph Search.
Two of the members of the Graph Search team, Lars Rasmussen and Tom Stocky, were very high up at Google. Facebook is calling it a “Dream Team.”
Zuckerberg made it very clear that this is not web search, but completely different:
What’s more interesting… Read More
